What does an illuminated red cross in an overhead lane signal indicate?

Correct answer

Occupying the lane beneath it is prohibited.

It prohibits occupying the lane beneath it. If already in that lane, leave it as promptly as possible safely. It is not a general overtaking ban across every lane of the road: it prevents using that lane, including for overtaking. Signals and conditions in other lanes still apply.
